Two Brighton players remain keen to leave Albion this January transfer window on a loan deal and secure some regular first team football.

Albion duo Haydon Roberts and Kjell Scherpen have found minutes on the pitch hard to come by this season

Roberts, a left footed defender, has featured in 12 Premier League matchday squads this term but has yet to see any top flight action.

The England youth international had three outings in the Carabao Cup but faces stiff competition from the likes of Joel Veltman, Shane Duffy, Lewis Dunk, Dan Burn and Marc Cucurella.

The 19 year-old has benefitted from training and mixing with established first team players but the next stage of his development could be another loan - but time is running out to find the right club this January.

He enjoyed a successful loan last season at League Two Rochdale - where he made 25 appearances - and so far this window he has been linked with a temporary move to Championship outfits Cardiff, Swansea and Nottingham Forest. League One Sheffield Wednesday are also said to be very keen.

Albion head coach Graham Potter is huge admirer of the Roberts and believes the right loan could be the best option.
